People often ask me why I don't add fingering numbers to my chord diagrams.
It's because there are multiple fingering options for many chords.
Instead of memorizing a specific fingering for a chord, we want to learn guitar chord fingering principles that we can then apply to any chord.
In this lesson, I share the top 9 guitar chord fingering principles so you can choose the correct fingering for any guitar chord you ever play.
If you feel like it, let me know in the comments which principle you found most helpful.
Thanks for watching!
